New hospital aims to boost healthcare access and medical tourism

A collaborative effort between Rwanda and India is set to deliver a state-of-the-art hospital and medical college that will transform Busanza, a once rural locality of Kigali and make Rwanda a medical tourism destination. Ground works are underway to complete the first phase of Believers International Hospital and Research Centre, a multi-speciality medical facility, which is expected to reduce the cost of treatment abroad and contribute to the country’s quest to become a medical hub. Located next to Believers Eastern Church in Busanza, Kicukiro District, the first phase, consisting of a 220-bed hospital and a medical college, is set to be completed in 15 months, with the facility expected to officially open at the end of 2025, or at most early 2026.
